That code above may be the problem, because you haven't specified what action to take if this statement is not true.

I would put a in a print line, some code with a loop to print each variable in the array before and after each operation, to verify what you expect. Just a thought.

Regards,
David.
If this statement is false, there's nothing that needs to be done rank-wise, and the progression moves down...Unless I missed something.

Each of the pairs is receiving a rank, but for some reason, some pairs are getting the same rank which doesn't make sense to me.

Inserted Code
   for(int j = 0; j<14; j++) {
      for(int k = 0; k <14; k++){
         if(StartingName[j] == ReferenceName[k] && j < 7) RankArray[k] = j - 7;
         if(StartingName[j] == ReferenceName[k] && j >= 7) RankArray[k] = j - 6;
         }
      }

I would expect the above block of code to be the culprit. Except I don't know how.

Hey ForexFlash,
I took a look at profitchart you mentioned and found this.

guProfit = (iClose("GBPUSDm",Period(),i)- iOpen("GBPUSDm",Period(),i))/Point;
....

So, of course it's not lagging - it's always compare current bar's open to current bar's close. I'm not sure that's what we want. That would be too unreliable, maybe okay on 1h chart. The same result you could achive in BuySellbasket if you set look_back property to 0.

The other thing about BuySellBasket I'm not sure if everyone pays attention to that parameter. It's tf. Time frame for looking back.By default it's = 15min.
So, if you changing your chart's time frame this parameter also needs to be changed if you want to use 5 min (for example) bars for looking back. It's probably just needs to be replaced with current chart's time frame to avoid confusion.

It depends when your broker's week starts.

Long story short - it compares current data with opening of W1 bar if you know what I mean.

I don't understand the issue... You do know how to change pairs in indicator's properties, right? Don't tell me you don't.

RR,
why don't you use my ranking piece of code? I don't force anybody to use my code, but it seems work okay. Below is an example. Note - you have to use nested loop to do it right.

PHP Code
   int plarr_size = ArraySize(PLArray);
 
   for(int i=0;i < plarr_size;i++) //Hold the first element
 {
  for(int j=i+1;j<plarr_size;j++) //Hold the next element from the first element
  {
   if(PLArray[i] < PLArray[j]) //comparing first and next element
   {
    temp_var = PLArray[j]; 
    PLArray[j] = PLArray[i];
    PLArray[i] = temp_var;
 
   }
  }
 }

theris no way to solve this problem? this will give a analize 100% wrong.

I'm pretty sure you are exaggerating. You think it really matters when you open you IA on Sunday or Monday?

i think make a big difference.

and now for example, in the real IA gy is at slot 8 and gbpchf at 9. In the indicator GY is at the top and gbpchf at the bottom.

By the way now weekly chart equal to daily one. So, I think they delay opening of new weekly bar for some reason (IBFX). Case closed.

May I ask the respected sir to attach some charts because I have no idea what are you talking about? I would check if your broker opens the new weekly bar first. Mine did.

I've updated my indicator a bit so you don't have to add 14 individual indicators.

You only need to add two, one for buys, and one for sell.

I also am experimenting using 'arrows' instead of lines to hopefully provide some sort of 'heat map'.

I'm still confused as to why some pairs are receiving the same rank and thus leaving some values blank. Notice the most recent bars.
Hi RR,

Why not use 5 colored directional arrows? That would give more information than just a 3 color block. TRO has done this beautifully with some of his indicators. I sent you the link before. Like this:

Strong up: 233 lime
Weak up: 236 green
Flat: 232 yellow
Weak down: 238 orange
Strong down: 234 red

With due consideration,

George
